Did you know there are more than 7,100 languages spoken across the world? Only one connects us all as one; that being the beautiful force of music! Since the beginning of time, music has been a magical experience that enters the soul. A human’s soul creates music, as well as every living thing. In fact, the outer space creates frequencies of sound to awaken our spirits, too. With and without spoken words — music is a universal language that connects us to our emotions, our deepest thoughts, and a great harmony that encircles us all into a state of bliss. Music breaks barriers by having a wide range of genres and subgenres. This summer, let’s honor the plethora of talented individuals who harness and tap into their vivid imaginations of this art called music.

Appreciate the person creating an instrument for a future musician. Enjoy an artist playing notes from certain instruments to bring beat, rhythm, or a melody to a song. Be astonished to a songwriter or a composer who made form for us. Sing along with a vocalist to express aloud a piece relating to our mind and soul. Don’t forget to share your respect to the musical producers as well as engineers who help the talents release the artist’s visions and bring it into life for the masses!

Go support your favorite artist/band by purchasing a compact disc or a vinyl record. Purchase tickets to support both local and non-local talents at your local venues. Share your favorite song to a friend or relative. Dance, meditate, mosh, sing in the shower, play karaoke with your loved ones, or whatever else — let the music fuel your soul every day!
